India Ranked 114th in the World in Average Internet Speed

India's Average Internet Speed Is 3.5 Mbps

India has reasons to be proud of the growth in Internet usage in the country but our Internet speeds are still lagging compared to the rest of the world.

In fact, a new report by Akamai, a US based content delivery and cloud services provider, suggests that India, at 3.5 Mbps, has the lowest average Internet speed in the Asia Pacific region.

Akami's report on the state of the Internet in the world brings out some interesting facts.

South Korea stays on the top with an average Internet speed of 29 Mbps and the peak speed of 103.6 Mbps.

The peak speed in India was measured at 25.5 Mbps.

The global average stands at 6.4 Mbps.

Another positive in the report for India was the fact that the adoption of 4 Mbps Internet speed had risen by 38 percent in the last quarter. Which means that more than a fifth of the Internet population now has a connection with 4 Mbps speed. Also, India has shown almost 138 percent year-on-year growth.
